My friend works for the BBC lol, part of his job is to sort out the doctor who dvd's, so that was a bit of a cheat by me

You only got the bonus question right - what was the full name?

[chris blanc]

Romanadvoratrelundar apparently

[Big J R]

Just a point on the Nobel Literature prize question.

 

David is probably right, BUT...........

 

Derek Walcott won it in 1992. He IS listed as a British subject, born in St Lucia nad now resident in Tobago !

 

Where's the Umpire, when you want him ??

Not needed, what you should do is re-read the question <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Who was the last winner of the Nobel prize for literature from the UK?

British Subject not part of the question, are you joining the thought police? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

My question, and William Golding was who I was after

 

I saw that Bloody Derek Walcott and new he'd be trouble lol

 

I think it's Dave's go

[David Holden]

OK to keep the book theme going a little longer?

 

Name the lead character in Kathy Reich's novels

[chris blanc]

Temperance Brennan?

 

Who was Sherlock Holmse's older smarter brother?

[Badger]

Sigerson Holmes

 

Problem is I can never think of any decent questions.

 

Back to books: In which book are Amy, Beth, Meg and Jo March the main characters?

Well that one I believe is Little Women, and I think the answer to Chris' question is Mycroft Holmes.

Chris??????????

[Badger]

I got my answer from a Gene Wilder film called 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother' wherein he played the man in the tie, Sigerson. Mind you, it doesn't say that he was older.....

[chris blanc]

sorry, yeah it was Mycroft

[AFF]

Absolutely contrary to Rule 54((a) but you chaps are losing the plot between you so here goes with an easy one:

 

What was the title of the first story in which Sherlock Holmes appeared?

 

 

[Colin, Germany]

'A Study In Scarlet', 1886, originally titled 'A Tangled Skein'.

 

[AFF]

Corrrrrrrrrecttttt Colin Germany.

 

Now your English may not be terribly good, mon ami, but the expression "Your turn next" means "You must ask a General Knowledge question now".

 

Schnell.

[Colin, Germany]

In which town is Anne Bronte buried?

I thought you had changed it to someone gets the rights answer. waits for the thought police to decide whether it is right or not, and then you ask the next question.

Have I got that muddled somehow?

I'll take a guess at Haworth.

[Colin, Germany]

No, I've never been to Haworth, but I've seen Anne Bronte's grave.
